A dedicated crew from our Club teamed up with Willdan to clear 20 bags of debris from the culvert behind Bike In Coffee—community action in just 90 minutes.
This morning, a spirited team of volunteers joined forces with Willdan to tackle a hidden corner of our neighborhood—the culvert behind Bike In Coffee. What began as a simple cleanup quickly turned into a testament to what can be accomplished when community and collaboration meet.
Armed with gloves, trash bags, and a shared sense of purpose, the group dove into the task with enthusiasm. In just an hour and a half, they filled an impressive 20 bags with debris, transforming the area from cluttered to cared-for. The culvert, often overlooked, plays a vital role in local water flow and ecosystem health, making its restoration especially meaningful.
Bike In Coffee, a beloved local spot nestled in Albuquerque’s North Valley, provided the perfect backdrop for this effort. The cleanup not only improved the physical space but also reinforced the importance of stewardship and connection—values that resonate deeply with both Willdan and the volunteers who showed up.
As the bags were hauled away and the sun climbed higher, the team paused to reflect on their impact. It wasn’t just about trash removal—it was about showing up, working together, and leaving a place better than they found it.
To everyone who pitched in: thank you. Your time, energy, and care made a difference. Enjoy the rest of your weekend—you’ve earned it.
